Spiritual novels and podcasts
Walking through history, accompanied by the Capuchins’ voices.
The novel that gives meaning to your steps
The historical novel The Spirit of the Capuchins was conceived for you, dear pilgrim, and written in dialogue with you. To you, who have chosen to set out on this journey, I dedicate it. In these pages, I wanted to tell you the stories of the first Capuchins, which took place mostly in the Marche region during the decade 1525-1535, from which the great tree of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin sprouted.
It is an adventurous story, full of discoveries: you will enter step by step into the lives of the protagonists, their thoughts and desires, the spirit that animated them, and the world they carried in their hearts; you will follow their struggles, the resistances they encountered, the strategies and human cunning employed to bring the reform to life. And, beneath all this, you will be able to sense the hidden plot of Providence working behind every earthly event, as far as our eyes can perceive it.
It is not a story to be known in advance: the pleasure lies in experiencing it along the way, stage by stage, entering with your heart and feet into the places you will traverse. At each destination, you will discover something about what happened there, while you await to discover what the next stage will hold. From the content of each chapter, you will also understand the design of the artistic stamps you will receive on your credential. In this way, I wish to accompany your steps and convey to you the taste of the adventure you are about to experience.
For this reason, I sincerely wish you: safe journey, pilgrim.

The spiritual podcasts
The spiritual podcasts – recorded with the voice of Brother Sergio Lorenzini – were conceived in continuity and as an integration of the novel The Spirit of the Capuchins. They were created with a simple and precious intent: to enrich your experience on the Path, so that it is not only a journey through the territory but also a true path of inner growth.
Every morning you can listen to your podcast, each lasting about 10-15 minutes, and carry with you along the stage the meditation insights you will receive. It will be a concrete way through which the Capuchin friars will walk with you, sharing with you the values and depth of their spirituality.
